The Tropical Fruit Forum

Thought I would share this picture. It's my friend lazaro and his jaboticaba  tree. He's from the southern part of Brazil where jabo is native to. He has several, this is the best looking one.
He also lives one house away from the Winchester property. Mr. Winchester used to own a ton of dairy farms and land in Boynton, notably the old Motorola land, and everything where renaissance commons and target and best buy and Wal-Mart and the like are currently built upon. In his yard is a 30 year old jabo, a 40ft spreading sapodilla, and many mango trees.

Haven't done a yard tour in a while, so here ya go

One of the Kampong Mauve seeds I got from a fruit from mikesid's house turned out to be polyembryonic. I have 3 shoots growing from one seed. This is the only one out of about 50 seeds I planted that has done this. Hoping it stays strong and grows up like it's parent tree to give me some good fruit.

Since all of my trees are now planted, figured I would show them off a lil, plus my projects.
unknown annona, friend's dad gave it to me after he cut it down. tried grafting with some budwood from mikesid, failed miserably

Just wondering if anyone that is on here is in the caribbean and experience any damage to their trees from this storm. Pompano has had gusts in the high 50s tonight, with the strongest weather supposed to be happening tomorrow. OF COURSE I am on shift tomorrow and wont be able to watch after all my new plants and trees, just hoping nothing snaps...
